BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.
The trees and shrubs resonate with declarations of love and confessions of assumed identity in this exciting new production, where the intimacy of radio brilliantly recreates the closed-off, magical world of the Forest of Arden.
Revitalised, original, and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

" I really enjoyed this work by Shakespeare. I love the intelligent metaphors exchanged between Rosalind and Celia. All in all it was very gripping and absorbing. "
" As with many of Shakespeare's comedys, this play has a witty heroine and a great plot. (And I also love No Fear Shakespeare;it makes it a lot easier to read.) "
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
